Process timer

[ShavdApe]

Im looking to time how long a process takes, so that it can say search took xx seconds for eg.

I can get it to give me in seconds but since some will complete in less than a second I was wondering how to get miliseconds any help appreciated.

* edit *

I think i figured it out but please tell me if this is wrong

set starttime [clock clicks -milliseconds]

... what to time goes here

set endtime [clock clicks -milliseconds]

set timems "([expr $endtime - $starttime] ms)"

and $timems would be my time in miliseconds.

I hope thats correct as I say please let me know if im wrong.

That should work. You might encounter the occasional situation when the millisecond value overlaps, yielding a negative "duration" though..
